Meet Mbulu, one of our dedicated Community Health Workers from Lutaba community in Mwandi District.

Through regular home visits, Mbulu supports children, mothers and families by sharing important health information, encouraging them to seek care when needed and providing guidance on maternal and child health.

For Mbulu, the work is about more than simply providing information; it is about being there for children, mothers and their families when they need health support.

“Being a Community Health Worker gives me an opportunity to reach families in their homes, encourage them to seek care and provide the support and information they need to stay healthy.”

Her commitment and close connection with families are helping bring essential health information and support closer to the Lutaba community.

A healthy childhood lays the foundation for a healthier future.

Keeping children healthy starts with the simple things' families do every day such as providing nutritious food, practising good hygiene, ensuring that children are fully vaccinated, preventing illness and seeking care when a child is sick.

Through the Children and Mothers Partnerships (CHAMPS) Programme, supported by CMMB, parents and caregivers are equipped with health information and practical knowledge to help them make informed decisions about their children’s health and wellbeing.

When we equip communities with the right knowledge and support, we strengthen families and give children a healthier start in life.

Yesterday, Access to Health Zambia joined the global community in commemorating at Kalingalinga Grounds in Lusaka, under the theme “Safe Care for Noncommunicable Diseases”, with the campaign slogan “Safe Care for Life!”

Patient safety is particularly important as the burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes, cancer and mental health conditions continues to affect individuals, families and communities.

Through our programmes, Access to Health Zambia works to ensure that communities are empowered with the knowledge and support they need to make informed decisions about their health, particularly in the prevention, early detection and management of NCDs. By strengthening linkages between communities and health facilities, we help promote timely access to appropriate care, treatment and continued support.

As we commemorate this year’s World Patient Safety Day, we reaffirm our commitment to working alongside communities, health facilities, government and partners to promote safe, inclusive and quality healthcare for all.

SAFE CARE FOR LIFE!

Equipping Faith Leaders to Strengthen Mental Health Support

Faith leaders are often among the first and most trusted people individuals and families turn to when facing difficult moments including emotional distress and mental health challenges.

Recognising the important role they can play in supporting mental health, Access to Health Zambia, through the Mental Health Project under Christian Connections for International Health - CCIH, yesterday conducted a two-day training at St. Paul’s in Lusaka, bringing together faith leaders to strengthen their capacity to provide appropriate community-based mental health support.

The training, graced by the President of the Independent Churches of Zambia, Bishop Dr. David Masupa, brought together faith leaders for interactive sessions that integrated both health and faith perspectives, equipping participants with practical knowledge and skills to strengthen mental health support within their communities.

The health component featured Mr. Mills Musama Mulale, representing the Kanyama Mental Health Unit supported by Access to Health Zambia’s Mental Health Integration Programme. The sessions were facilitated by Limpo Funjika-Mukendi, Access to Health Zambia Mental Health Consultant, alongside guest facilitator Rev. Walter Mwambazi, who led the faith-based sessions.

Through the training, faith leaders were equipped to:
🔹 Raise awareness and reduce stigma by sharing accurate information about mental health within churches, congregations and communities.
🔹 Strengthen referral pathways by working together with health workers to improve access to appropriate mental health care and support.
🔹 Recognise possible signs of mental health conditions using appropriate psychological assessment tools and understand when and where to refer individuals for further care.
🔹 Challenge stigma and misconceptions surrounding mental health and promote greater understanding, compassion and support within faith communities.

By strengthening the knowledge and skills of faith leaders, we are helping to build stronger links between communities and health services, while creating pathways for people experiencing mental health challenges to receive the care and support they need.

At Access to Health Zambia, we believe that every woman deserves the opportunity to give birth safely and return home healthy with a healthy baby.

We work alongside communities, health workers and partners to strengthen access to essential maternal and newborn health services helping women receive the care they need, when they need it.

Because every pregnancy matters.
Every birth matters.
Every mother matters.
Every newborn matters.

Meet Mulwazi, a community health worker from Kasaya in Mwandi District under the Project.

Driven by a commitment to improving the wellbeing of mothers and children in his community, Mulwazi plays an important role in educating families and caregivers with the knowledge, information and support they need to make informed decisions about their health and the wellbeing of their children.

“I love seeing families, especially mothers and children, live healthier lives. When I see a mother get the care she needs or a child receive the right support at the right time, I know that my work is making a difference in my community. That is what keeps me going.”

For some, water is just a tap away.
For others, it is a daily struggle.

According to the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme, 2.1 billion people worldwide still lack safely managed drinking water.

And Zambia is not exempt from this challenge.
Across communities in Zambia, people still walk long distances, wait in long queues, or rely on unsafe water sources to meet their basic needs.

The impact goes beyond thirst.
Limited access to safe water affects hygiene, health, dignity, livelihoods, and the well-being of families, especially women and children.

may have ended, but the need for safe and reliable water continues for billions of families and communities.

Let’s keep the conversation going.
Let’s keep raising awareness.
Let’s keep advocating for access to safe, reliable and affordable water.

Because water is not just a resource, it is essential to healthy communities.
